A Showcase Of Speed! Jay Leno Takes A Ride In A 2020 Tesla

Jay Leno and his love for automobiles are back. Today Mr. Leno returns, and he does so with a brand new episode of Jay Leno’s Garage. This time around Mr. Leno pairs up with Tesla’s Chief Designer, Franz von Holzhausen, at the electric automobile manufacturer’s design center for a look at the 2020 Roadster. Before the ride, the two go through the past, present, and future of the company, including a rundown of Tesla’s 2008 Roadster and the 2018 Model 3.

Jay then hops in the 2020 Roadster and gets an idea of what 10,000Nm of torque feels like. The ride is able to go from 0-60 mph in 1.9 seconds, travel a quarter mile in 8.8 seconds, and reach a top speed of over 250 mph with a 600-mile range on a single charge. Sounds impressive right?
